8 '1He shall remove from it all the fat of the bull of the sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat which is on the entrails,
9 and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them, which is on the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he shall remove 2with the kidneys
10 (just as it is removed from the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings ), and the priest is to offer them up in smoke on the altar of burnt offering.
11 'But 3the hide of the bull and all its flesh with its head and its legs and its entrails and its refuse,
12 that is, all the rest of the bull, he is to bring out to 4a clean place outside * the camp where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.
13 '5Now if the whole congregation of Israel commits error and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly, and they commit any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and they become guilty;
14 6when the sin which they have committed becomes known, then the assembly shall offer 7a bull of the herd for a sin offering and bring it before the tent of meeting.
15 'Then 8the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD, and the bull shall be slain 9before the LORD.
16 'Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the blood of the bull to the tent of meeting;
17 and 10the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil.
18 'He shall put some of the blood on the horns of 11the altar which is before the LORD in the tent of meeting; and all the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering which is at the doorway of the tent of meeting.
